Changed Lobby 7 Inscription

The inscription around Lobby 7 reads "Established for Advancement and
Development of Science its Application to Industry the Arts Agriculture and
Commerce. Charter MDCCCLXI."

Hackers changed the words "Agriculture and Commerce" to "Entertainment and Hacking" by covering the
original with styrofoam panels, which were painted
to look like the stone and engraved with the modified text. The styrofoam was
held in place by six spring-loaded devices
placed between the blocks above the text.

The hackers were seen as they finished deploying the hack. The resulting
Campus Police Report emphasizes the hack's
subtlety.

Physical Plant attempted to remove the hack on Friday, August 26 with
scaffolding. They aborted when the scaffolding was judged too wobbly to be
safe and the hack stayed up for three more days. The hack was removed on
Tuesday, August 30 by MIT's Confined Space Rescue Team, which rappelled over the ledge to get to the hack.
Evidently the team had been scheduled to practice that day anyway, so it
removed the hack in lieu of the scheduled practice session.
